Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the excellent camera quality, ease of use, and surprisingly good battery life of the DSC-HX300 20.4-Megapixel Digital Camera. Many appreciate its lightweight design and strong low-light performance, while some find the size a bit larger than desired and express concerns about the lens cap's design. The camera's price point and features are also frequently praised.

    I am still learning all of the features. I am impressed with the amount of megapixels and zoom capability. So far it has been fantastic, especially in low light.

    Most of the Features I Prefer

    I bought this camera refurbished and the lighting seems to be off. In sunlight or when using the flash indoors, the images sometimes get whited out. I don't shoot a lot of video, but can't get the video off of the camera and onto my computer very easily. I don't like that you have to manually pop up the flash - I would prefer that the flash pops up on its own when needed. Overall, though, this camera has the features that I prefer: high zoom, tilting screen and the ability to add features like "paint" to pictures.

    Got this camera because I was tired of lugging my DSLR around Disney World every year. Have only messed around with this around the house but so far the pictures and videos have me happy. Hoping this works good in the parks for parades and shows.

    Lots of features including several modes to choose from like shooting landscapes,dim light w/flash,soft focus,clear crisp shots w/defocus backgrounds.I love the option to switch the LCD view finder too. Takes clear pics.looks very professional & if you're looking to Blow up or enlarge photos the Megapixels are designed to do just that! The image will not appear grainy or out of focus. My only regret I paid full price.. A month later this Sony Camera went on sale for at least $40 less... But I'm still pleased with it. It does the job as if I were a pro!Affordable & worth the money spent if you are looking for a beginners camera this is ideal!!!

    I purchased this camera to use for my school's website page. It takes beautiful pics of assemblies and student presentations from the back of the gym where these events take place. I'm also able to get up close to student artwork, making the clarity much better for web pics. I've always been a fan of Sony and I'm glad I stayed with them on this more expensive purchase! After doing research online and visiting 2 Best Buys near me, I'm very happy with my choice!

    Bought this camera for my wife who is an amateur photographer. We love to take photos of birds and other wildlife. The zoom helps her do a great job. It is very light but not cheap feeling compared to other camera in this style also.
